I've never heard of anyone seeing dead trout after they did this but it just looks bad. I guess I'm more of the 'show them so love' types who think you should just walk the net down to the creek and gently release them. That takes time which is something they don't have given lack of staff. They should ask for help like Pa does. You volunteer, you meet at a predetermined spot and then you help the PFBC stock. I'm sure the NJDFGW could use the help.
